Oswego! That's great!! I currently reside in Auburn,NY. We're almost neighbors!!

I do have a 76 twin that hasn't operated correctly in years, hmmmm,maybe I should get it modded

Watch your back is an understatement when carting around an MC2300 as well. I've come to that crossroads with age and now I am exploring the lighter weight options. Although if you are powering a twin JBL e120 cab at 4 ohms my concern is whether an MC250 can cut through a 2-drummer stage setup. I forget if it's the MC2100 that weighs in at 57 lbs but without a desire for multiple racks and heavy weight, I've started to consider the Mosvalve 962 running one-channel (160W running the A-channel only) as at least a backup option for less 'equipment weight' at gigs. I currently use modded Fender-type amp heads (one based on the blackface specs, another a 135W ultralinear) and save the SMS preamps for when a large stage needs the McIntosh.

The e120 is indeed a hefty speaker. I do play in a six piece two drummer band currently using a Dr Z Maz 38 and have no problems cutting through the the mix. The band is actually very quiet, I'm the loudest guy in the band with the Z turned up basically a third of the way. I am pretty confident that the mc250 will provide me with enough stage volume with the band.

Howdy everyone. I've been a lurker on this forum for a bit and have finally joined up. I play guitar with a Dead tribute band out of Syracuse,NY. We call ourselves Pearly Baker's Best and are currently doing some dates backing up David Gans. I have been pretty resistant to "going down the rabbit hole" and copping Garcia's licks and tones since I don't wish to be pigeon holed as another "Jerry" guy.บาคาร่า onlinegclub online
